The WikiLeaks founder has been holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since 2012 and refuses to return to Stockholm to face sexual assault charges for fear he will be extradited to the U.S., where he is being investigated for espionage.

The government says Matt DeHart is an online child predator. He says that’s a ruse created because he discovered shocking CIA secrets and claims he was tortured by federal agents. The only thing that’s clear is that he’s in deep trouble.

An ex-WikiLeaks employee said the organization offered other things too: “I remember a remark along the lines of noting the women there were very lovely, and very friendly.” A WikiLeaks spokesman said a deal never materialized.
